Sprint Iphone 5 no 4g/LTE

My sprint phone is not picking up LTE! Before i got this phone, even at home i would get 4G but nothing is picking up on my iphone! it's really starting
to bother me. Anywhere i go im stuck with 3G in the status bar! How stone age is that?! I've done the reboot, and i've also rest my networks...NOTHING...
Any Suggestions?

ugh! i've been bamboozled! everythings so slow! i feel like i'm operating on a first gen iphone when it comes to internet and what not. BLAh. thank you so much for the information though.

  • Can I use an unlocked Sprint iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA) on EE's 4G LTE network?

    I want to use my unlocked Sprint iPhone 5 (model# A1429 CDMA) when I travel in the UK. The only 4G LTE carrier is EE.
    They recommend you use an unlocked iPhone 5 (model# A1429 GSM), but I don't wish to purchase a new phone for such a short duration.
    So can I use a unlocked  iPhone 5 (model# A1429 CDMA) on EE's network or not?

    If you purchase the device unlocked, it can be used on any supported GSM carrier around the world.
    There are no guarantees with LTE.  It may work on their LTE network, it may not.

  • IPhone 5: Roaming LTE

    So I found this page detailing the different LTE bands supported by the iPhone 5:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    It appears that the models for US CDMA networks Sprint and Verizon share a model number with the version destined for other countries, and that the US LTE bands are the same as those used in the UK on various carriers.
    I was able to switch out the SIM card in my Sprint iPhone 4S and use the phone on a 3G network in the UK. Will I similarly - carrier unlock permitting - be able to do the same with the iPhone 5, using a UK LTE network when I am there?

    you should you would probably have to configure the APN settings with the iphone config tool

  • Sprint iPhone 5c move to VZW network

    I just had my Sprint iPhone 5c carrier unlocked.  Will it now work on VZW if I buy a prepaid plan and VZW Sim?
    obviously the Sprint iPhone has the necessary CDMA and LTE bands to work.
    thanks.

    Great question. Although it is an iPhone since it was designed for a different carrier, we can't guarantee it will work on our network. Feel free to reach out to the prepaid team at 888-294-6804.

  • How can I set up Facetime on a deactivated Sprint iphone 4?

    I bought a Sprint iphone 4 from someone who had deactivated due to he couldnt afford the extra data package; therefore the ESN is bad and not free and clear. I have a 12yr old son with Down Syndrome who had played with his sisters ipod touch and I thought we might be able to get him to like this one instead. When I showed him the Angry Birds game, to our astonishment, he took to it immediately. It is the first time he's ever played, and completed any game, ever. Needles to say what I bought for parts(I have a cell phone repair business) has now become his phone. Usually in these cases I do a complete reset, but instead, I have deleted all the prior owners personal information and reset up the wifi and my email info.
    The problem I'm having is getting Facetime to work on this used iphone 4. Another daughter is away at college, has an iphone 4 with AT&T, and we would love for our son to be able to talk to the sister he misses so much. I have set up an account in Apple, followed all the instructions, and it never gets past the "Verifying"message then "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on Facetime to try again." We are utilizing Wifi and have a good strong connection, because I can surf the net and get into my AOL account.
    I would really love to be able to set this up; can this be done? I am "Old School" and would need a step by step instruction. Thanx!!!

    If it is true about the SMS, then it can't be done. The phone would have to be activated and, as I stated in my OP, the ESN is not free and clear. Therefore It can't send the SMS, ever.  I didn't get "Hosed", as I said in the OP, I originally bought the phone for parts. It was only used 3 weeks, looked brand new, is white, and only had 3 hours on the Talktimer. It was only when I discovered my son connected with the Angry Birds game did I consider giving it to him. I have software to identify most SPC's(Service Provider Code) on Sprint, Verizon, and most CDMA phones. I utilize this to update Software, reflash, or Change PRL's, on CDMA phones. But even finding out this and reprograming it with another number won't work if an actual SMS has to be sent thru the Sprint System; besides, I'm pretty sure this software(CDMA WS Pro) won't work with iphones. So I guess the "Genius" guy wouldnt be able to help me out anyway. Too bad there isnt away around having to use Sprint to activate an Apple app. If anyone else has a solution, please let me know. Thanx for your help.

  • How to tell if Sprint iPhone is unlocked?

    I called Sprint earlier and asked them to unlock the GSM portion of my 4S. I told them I will be doing extensive traveling for a while and I don't want to pay roaming. I am a customer of good standing, but I thought they'd put up a lot of resistance. Lo and behold, when I called in, the girl checked for me and told me that my phone has been unlocked all along. Even though that was the first time I called in.
    (I don't know if it has to do with the fact that I got my phone the day of the launch at an Apple Store. Rumors on the Internet said that the first batch of Sprint iPhones were accidentally unlocked. But I thought that would have been re-locked durning software update or something. Besides, I have dropped my phone recently and replaced with a new one through AppleCare +. So I'm baffled as to how this phone has been unlocked all along.)
    Anyway, back to my point. I want to bring the phone to the UK and use a local sim card. Is there anyway I can tell if the phone is indeed unlocked? Can i tell from itunes or somethng? I don't want to bring it there only to find it still locked. I'd rather buy a cheap pay-as-you-go phone locally and not bring a locked iPhone with me. I plan on doing everything above the board. No jailbreakng.

    Well, a domestic sim won't work in your phone, so using one to check won't work and if AppleCare can't confirm such, you have no choice but to rely on what Sprint tells you. Call the International Support team to confirm, again:
    888.226.7212
    Tell them you will NOT pay any roaming charges if it is not unlocked when you get there.

  • I recently buyed totally unlocked sprint iphone which was legally contract free and i am using that phone in india but i am not able to send sms .everything is working fine except sending sms. i have tried everything plz help me !!

    i recently buyed totally unlocked sprint iphone which was legally contract free and i am using that phone in india but i am not able to send sms .everything is working fine except sending sms. i have tried everything plz help me !! i have tried everything i.e. reset iphone /hard reset/network setting reset /sms service no i have also changed but i am still not able to send sms.. please help me as i am really worried .. thank you !!

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

  • Unlock sprint iPhone 4S

    Is there anyway to unlock my sprint iPhone 4S? I looked online a bunch of times but it all looks like scams to me. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Only Sprint can unlock the sim slot, so contact Sprint. Note: unless you are a current/former customer, they will not do so.

    I assume you mean Voice over LTE (VoLTE)? If so, I do not believe it does. It certainly doesn't with my carrier (Verizon).

  • Help with unlocking - I am trying to buy a used SPRINT IPHONE 4S. After unlocking will it work with ATT

    I am trying to buy a used SPRINT IPHONE 4S.  Once I buy I plan to UNLOCK it ( Get it unlocked )
    Then can I use it with ATT ?
    Can someone please tell me whether an unlocked IPHONE can work with any cell company please ?
    That will be  a quick answer to my question.

    1. No. iPhones unlocked by Sprint can't be used with a different USA carrier.
    2. Not in this case. Sprint only unlocks iPhones for international use.

  • Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked

    Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked. Sprint will only unlock it if it's international. they will not unlock it if I want to use the iphone4s with another USA carrier.  Why? I have paid for the phone and don't have a contract.  I wanted to switch the SIM card and use tmobile or another provider because I am very dissatisfied with sprint service. Lots of drop calls and texting takes 15 to reach the other person.  It is horrible,,,, I hate sprint!,

    Sorry, what others here have said is wrong, wrong, wrong. There is nothing about the hardware of the iPhone 4S that would prevent a Sprint 4S from being used on T-Mobile, or any GSM carrier, international or domestic. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Each and every 4S is 100% hardware capable of doing both GSM and CDMA out of the box. The only impediment is that Sprint would have to authorize an unlock for you. This is something they simply refuse to do. If anyone at Sprint has told you that they can't unlock a 4S for domestic use with another carrier, they have lied to your face. This, by the way, is something they're doing with everyone who asks the question - just Google search "Sprint unlock iPhone 4S", and you'll see dozens of internet threads where people talk about being lied to by Sprint about this issue. The good news is that Sprint signed an agreement with the FCC regarding letting off-contract customers unlock their phones. The agreement takes effect in mid-March, and Sprint is dragging its feet until then. Once that deadline passes, if Sprint still hasn't agreed to unlock your phone, then they're in violation of the agreement, and you can and should report them to the FCC. I sure plan to. Then I'm going to switch carriers, to one that doesn't lie to me and keep fraudulent liens on my property.

  • HT4993 If I buy a sprint iphone with a contract,  but I want to sell the phone to a sprint store, will I be billed?

    If I buy a sprint iphone 4 with a contract, and I want to sell it to a phone store, will I be billed in the future??

    Your contract with Sprint has a termination clause. Read it. If you terminate the contract early, you will have to pay to do so.

  • I have two Sprint iPhones (5 and 4s) and Sprint gave me unlock codes fo both - what do I do with the codes?  I am taking them with me to England to use there?

    I have 2 Sprint iPhones which were no longer in use on the Sprint account, Sprint provided unlock codes for both and told us to give them to the new carrier.  We are taking the phones to England as we are moving there.
    We assume that unlocked iPhones are as good as those bought directly from Apple with no carrier attached to them?
    We are going to buy sim cards and use them there, so not sure what to do with the unlock codes?
    Any help much appreciated!
    Thank you

    There is no unlock code that can be used with an iPhone by another carrier.
    The GSM side of an iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 previously activated with Sprint should be unlocked for use with a GSM carrier's SIM card outside of the U.S. but if not, you need to request the unlocking with Sprint with Sprint sending the unlock request to Apple. The unlocking is done with iTunes on your computer.

  • With a Sprint iPhone, how can I shorten the number of rings before going to voicmail?

    Using a Sprint iPhone, how can I shorten the number of rings before going to voicemail?

    23 rings? Really. My friends iPhone rings 4 times then goes to voice mail.
    I know on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile the number of rings is set through the carrier. Have you called Sprint?
    Here is the manual, which is also bookmarked in Safari on your iPhone and can be added for free to your iBooks app through the iBookstore: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • HT4993 How do I unlock a sprint Iphone to a tmobile

    I recently got a sprint Iphone 4s and I think it's unlocked because it doesn't say sprint on it and I tried using a tmobile sim card
    but it doesn't work, can anyone help please?
    thanks

    You don't. At least not for T-Mobile in the US. Sprint will unlock an iPhone if you are a current Sprint customer in good standing, but it can never be used on any US carrier other than Sprint. It can only be used on non US GSM carriers.
